**Location**: Sydney, NSW

**Categories**: Post Doctoral Research Associate
- Employment Type: Full Time, Fixed Term for 3 years (35-hour week)
- Remuneration: Level A $106,337 + 17% Superannuation
- Location: Kensington, NSW (with the option of hybrid working arrangements)

**About us**

UNSW Law & Justice is a top-ranking faculty and a global leader in law and criminology education and research, setting the pace in Australia for 50 years.

We're inspired by principles of justice and our staff are grounded in well-established legal skills. UNSW Law & Justice is committed to social justice and to making a difference in this world.

**Why the Role Matters**

The Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship on 'Evacuations in International Law: Disasters, Conflict and Humanitarian Crises' is a five-year research program directed by Scientia Professor Jane McAdam AO. It is based at the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law in the Faculty of Law & Justice at UNSW Sydney.

The Laureate Postdoctoral Fellows will have a unique opportunity to be part of a world-leading and agenda-setting research program. The program will consider the range of contexts in which evacuations are used - from disasters to conflict to pandemics - to provide the first sustained, integrated legal analysis of how evacuations are carried out, and to ensure that ad hoc responses are replaced with systematic, sustainable solutions that safeguard people's lives and livelihoods.

The Laureate Postdoctoral Fellows will undertake independent research, writing and fieldwork within the Laureate research program and will also collaborate with other members of the Laureate team. Laureate Postdoctoral Fellows may have the opportunity to co-supervise doctoral students and to organize roundtables, workshops and other events. Some domestic and international travel will be required.

The Laureate Postdoctoral Fellows will report to Professor Jane McAdam and will have no direct reports.

**Accountabilities**

Specific accountabilities for this role include (but are not limited to):

- Conduct high-quality individual and collaborative research on evacuations and international law, with a particular focus on conflict or disasters.
- Disseminate research by presenting and publishing academic papers in refereed international journals, edited books, reports and submissions, and conduct research towards an independently authored monograph.
- Disseminate research findings at national and international conferences and in the media.
- Co-design and manage intellectual streams within the Laureate research program, including research activities with international collaborators.
- Assist with the coordination of research activities and actively contribute to research outputs to meet project milestones.
- Participate in regular program meetings and undertake other research and administration activities as required.
- Undertake fieldwork to contribute to the team’s understanding and analysis of evacuations in particular contexts.

**Skills and Experience**:

- A PhD in international refugee law, international human rights law, international humanitarian law, international human rights law or international disaster law, ideally with a particular focus on displacement or mobility. Applications from people with lived experience of displacement are encouraged.

- Demonstrated track record of high-quality research outputs, publications and conference presentations relative to opportunity, with potential for agenda-setting contributions.
